Hedgehog - Polepole Wooden Animal

Hedgehog Polepole wooden animal designed and created in Japan by T-Lab. Hand-crafted in Indonesia, each Polepole animal is skillfully carved by hand out of an incredibly soft, light sustainable wood called albizia, grown on T-Lab's own farms in Indonesia. The wood is then carefully sanded to create a super smooth surface and finally hand painted and finished in Japan with the sweetest expressions and patterns.

Polepole is pronounced 'poh-leh poh-leh' and translates as 'slowly slowly' in Swahili, referring to the careful hand-carved process used to craft each animal. Each animal is unique and has its own charm and character as it is completely hand-made.

Width 4.8cm x Depth 3.5cm x Height 3.6cm.

Made from white Albizia wood.

We love T-Lab's unique wooden animals, a beautifully made product for decoration or play.

The wood used for Grapat toys (primarily beech and birch) comes from sustainable forests. Wood is the source that inspires the workshop daily. It is robust, soft and hard, it is warm, it sounds good and it smells good.

The dyes are based on water and non-toxic: they allow the grain of the wood to show through, bringing children into closer contact with nature. The finishes are made with waxes and oils of vegetable origin. The oils can have a strong aroma at first, but it loses it within a few days. Each piece is unique, each one is painted by hand. And natural imperfections are recognized as being part of the natural wood: it is beautiful and makes the material even more valuable.
